Haihara Jazz plays in Valjasvaja
Chicago-based saxophonist and singer Juli Wood has established herself in her home country for decades by performing and recording under her own name. Her music is deeply rooted in the African-American tradition. Juli's vocal style is rooted in the roots and blues, and her saxophone playing combines sophistication and raw expression with respect for the hard bop tradition.
In 2021, Juli Wood was awarded the prestigious The Jazz Institute of Chicago – New Works, Fresh Voices Award. At Haihara, he serves swinging jazz and the soulfulness of blues with his trio.
